What is Water Over Stones : a Novel about?
381 pages ; 21 cm "Bernardo Atxaga's Water over Stones follows a group of interconnected people in a small village in the Basque Country. It opens with the story of a young boy who has returned from his French boarding school to his uncle's bakery, where his family hopes he will speak again. He's been silent since an incident in which he threw a stone at a teacher for reasons unknown. With the assistance of twin brothers who take him to a river in the forest, he'll recover his speech. As the years pass, those twins, now adults, will be part of a mining strike in the Ugarte region, and so take up the mantle of the narrative, just as others will after them."--Publisher's webpage "First published in the Basque language as Etxeak eta hilobiak by Pamiela in 2019"--Title page verso "First published in English in Great Britain by MacLehose Press, London."--Title page verso
